| Post subject: | DVI to Widescreen Projector? |
Hello, As with many posts here, I am fairly new to Linux as the media station. I have used Linux off and on on my desktop, though. I install KnoppMyth onto my media PC (previously running Meedio). Everything went smoothly, including my PVR-USB2. I have my PC hooked up to a Sanyo PLV-70 projector via DVI. This projector will support 1360x768 natively over DVI, however, it only announces that it will support upto 1024x768. I have copied my PowerStrip modeline from my Windows configuration to the XF86Config-4. After adding this line, I still am only getting the 1024x768 display. I know I should upload my XF86Config-4 file and my log file first, but I am currently at work. Any ideas before I get home and get those files? Tim |

check the log file and see if for some reason the driver doesn't like that modeline. The log file lists all the modelines that it rejects and why. |

Ok, the log file shows: Code: (WW) RADEON(0): Mode 1360x768@60 is out of range.
(WW) RADEON(0): Valid modes must be between 320x200-1024x768 The problem is that the EDID information supplied by the projector says that it can only handle upto 1024x768. However, that is not true. I am successfully using the 1360x768 mode in Windows on this same PC. Is there any way to have X ignore the EDID data and use that modeline anyway? Tim |
